Thunder forward Kevin Durant has come second in the draft and MVP votings, but nobody in the NBA can touch him nowadays when it comes to pitching products - whether it's shoes, video games or soft drinks. He leads our Commercials Rankings and No. 2 (Kobe Bryant) is not even close.

Steven Hunter will play the season in Italy with Dinamo Sassari. The big man who has played 400 games in the NBA averaging 4.5ppg and 3.2rpg passed the tryout period with the Italian team and will be signed next week for the entire year. Hunter, who took last season off, will be replacing Keith Benson, a rookie selected by Atlanta Hawks in 2011 NBA Draft in the second round. 'Kito' will play his last game with Banco di Sardegna in the weekend against Emporio Armani Milano and then will be waived by the club. Sportando
